A method, information processing system, and computer readable medium for managing virtual machine imaging. The method includes receiving a request for an imaging operation associated with at least one virtual machine. A notification is sent to at least one operating system associated with the at least one virtual machine of the request for the imaging operation. The operating system is determined to be in a state for the virtual machine to be imaged. The request for the imaging operation is granting in response to determining.

Hypervisor with cloning-awareness notifications

Various components are provided to manage a clustered environment. These components include a System Registry that provides a global data storage; a Configuration manager that stores data locally on nodes of the clustered environment and globally within the System Registry; a Liveness component to provide status of communications paths of the cluster; a Group Services component that provides services to one or more other components of the clustered environment; and a Resource Management component that communicates with one or more resource controllers of the clustered environment. Each of the components of the clustered environment has one or more data and/or functional dependencies on one or more other components of the environment. However, relationships between the components are created such that the data and functional dependencies form an acyclic graph (i.e., a cycle of dependency relationships is avoided).
